Study: More of us appear to drinking on the job during pandemic

CINCINNATI (WKRC) – If our alcohol habits are any indication, more of us are stressed out staying at home. Instead of drinking on the weekends, we are drinking more during the week. A new report from the BACtrack app, where people self-report alcohol use anonymously, confirms what the workplace app FISHBOWL also found: As many as 4 in 10 of us are drinking at home on the clock. That means a swap in our habits: up on the weekdays, down on the weekends. BACtrack allows you to check your state. Here are some examples of what they found: In Ohio, weekday drinking increased by 26% the first week after quarantine and it decreased by 23% on weekends. In Illinois, weekday drinking increased by 47% the first week after quarantine and it decreased by 51% on weekends. In Washington state, weekday drinking jumped by 72% in the first week of quarantine and it decreased by 16% on weekends. In Georgia, weekday drinking jumped by 97% the first week after quarantine and it decreased by 31% on weekends. “My medical recommendation would be to not drink at all if at all possible, to strengthen your system as much as you can because, right now, we're fighting with this virus,” said Dr. Nabila Babar, an internal medicine and addiction medicine specialist. “We need everything we have to fight with it and give it any chances to invade our bodies." The concern in addition to our immunity is that if this is a coping mechanism, it can become hard to break, which leads to addiction.
